Diff centres are different between all different types and makes of cars.
The most noticable difference will be the hemisphere of the diff (the part that allows the crownwheel to be bolted to)
Generally an open-wheel diff will be completely sealed.
LSD type diff u can see inside it thru the openings and by looking inside it, you can see if its 2 pinion or 4 pinion by the amount of spider gears inside.

That explains the different types of diffs and how they work. Good for the new members too.
